“It’s the first time we have left Brenda with anyone, she was met with a very warm welcome and we felt at ease straight away leaving her. When we picked her up she was pleased to see me and was lovely to hear that she had been a good girl too. We will definitely be requiring and using Daisy’s wonderful service again, knowing that Brenda is safe and happy.”
“We left our little Cocker Spaniel, Luca, for the day and she had a lovely time! Georgette was wonderful, everything was very easy and straightforward from start to finish, and we really appreciated receiving and update and photo during the day. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you so much!”

“Bessie was well looked after by Lorna and her husband they took her for walks, gave her home made treats and even gave me a little bag at the end with more of the treats and some photos Thank you for taking such good care of my girl :)”
About: I am exactly who I would want to leave my dog with or have my dog walked by as I put dogs in front of humans 😂 My small Munsterlander is 4 now and I’ve had her since a pup, we’ve recently moved back to the UK from Spain and I’m out with her on big ball playing walks 4/5 times per day as she is super active and I need the outside time too so I thought this would be perfect for me to get a bit of pocket money and be around my favourite animals at the same time. I have trained my girl since a pup and understand all aspects of dog training and how they operate in general so I’m happy to have dogs off the lead although at the same time happy to walk them on a long lead :) Walking wise I’ll have mine with me and she’s off the lead running chasing the ball in the local fields etc so any dog can join in and we’ll have a great time if you want me to have your dog overnight I’ll make it so they don’t even want to come back to you which is exactly what I would expect and hope for if I was to leave my baby! How will I do that? 🤔 I’ll make sure they have the best walks ever so we’re all chilled for cozy cuddle time and I’ll cook up something meaty for them super nutritional and make sure they sleep right next to me by the bed :) I actually do nothing all day everyday apart from look after my best mate (Maddie in my photo) since I’ve moved back here to the UK I find myself out 4/5 times per day with my dog so would be the exact same to look after another doggy :) There is no escape as we’re in a flat so no safety concerns in that sense this also encourages me even more to make sure once my doggy has chilled for a couple hours we’re back outside playing again as there isn’t a garden.
About: Hi 👋🏻 my name is Lisa and I am the owner of The Kent Animal Nanny offering dog walking and pet sitting services. I have owned cats, dogs, rabbits etc since I was born and looked after friends and families pets for several years. A few months ago I decided to leave behind the 9-5 life to pursue my passion of looking after animals. I am fully insured, have a DBS and I am first aid trained. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon 🥰 I own a dog walking and pet sitting business so your pet will be my only focus. Please feel free to contact me for my availability I live in a first floor flat but I also have a private garden, I am able to take pets into my home but prefer to look after pets in their own homes so they are in a comfortable and familiar setting. During day care dogs are offered a walk (weather dependent e.g heat wave) as well as food and lots of cuddles and play time.
About: I have had pets all throughout my life growing up. I have owned dogs for over 19 years and am used to looking after pets - mainly dogs, but also chickens, horses and cats. I currently work part-time and in a role where I can be mainly based at home. I live in an old house surrounded by lovely gardens and three acres of fields. I am close to many country walks and St Mary’s Bay beach is only 10 minutes drive from me. All dogs, like us humans, are different. Some prefer to be left in peace and quiet and others like company, some are very energetic and others are less so. How I care for your dog is entirely dependent on their preferences. And I have enough space in my home for them to roam quite freely and the great outdoors with fenced fields are merely seconds from our back door. I have enough space in my home to have 3 extra dogs with their own room.
About: Iv owned dogs for over 30 years and have had the honour to work with them for the past 16, I have experience with most breeds being a dog groomer and owned many myself over the years. I have fostered over 100 rescues in the past 4 years also and am experienced in nervous, elderly, young and dogs needed extra care. I can administer medication including injections if needed. I have worked in boarding kennels before and have been boarding dogs myself for the past 10 years in my own home, where all dogs are welcomed into my family and treated as one of my own. I own two grooming salons where any boarding dogs can come with me, where they can meet other dogs, be in my company all day and will only be left if I need to pop to the shops I have two fully fenced gardens with over 100ft to run around in, I have 6 small rescue dogs myself that your dog can meet and play with. They are all brilliant with other dogs and are used to different dogs staying in our home.
“I was nervous about leaving my pup Starla for the first time but Kerry was wonderful, friendly and supportive. She followed routine and kept me updated with pictures and videos of Starla settling in and enjoying herself which was greatly appreciated. By the end of the first day Starla had bonded well with Kerry and her dog Doris and was excited to see them again the next day. I'm sure she is going to miss you both!”

We left our little Cocker Spaniel, Luca, for the day and she had a lovely time! Georgette was wonderful, everything was very easy and straightforward from start to finish, and we really appreciated receiving and update and photo during the day. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you so much!
Ngima was great with Angel, we had loads of lovely updates, pictures and videos to show how Angel was settling in, which was really nice especially for her first time at a new home. Ngima took in all the info about Angel's needs and routine including her feeding times and walk times etc. We felt at ease knowing Angel was under such good care! Angel will be looking forward to her next stay with Ngima, Gelu and family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ashford on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 782 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Ashford. About 86% of Ashford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Ashford commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in South East England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
